We had an amazing stay at Luke's beautiful New England cabin. I only wish our stay was longer. Our group, three old friends in our 30's and our respective girlfriends, went for a three-night winter getaway. A perfect combination of relaxation and action — reading and playing games by the fire, hiking, antiquing, and cooking amazing meals in the spacious and well-equipped kitchen.
As design savvy group, we appreciated the attention to detail in how the cabin was decorated. It was stylish yet comfortable. And the surroundings were breathtaking — looking out from the porch, it feels like you're completely isolated from the world. There are great easy hiking trails leading right from the house. You can spot some deer, and discover a small stream just steps from the cabin. And there is plenty to do in the nearby towns — Luke provided us a great list of suggestions.

This cabin was perfect for a Christmas getaway! It was remote enough that you felt removed from the world and your problems, but close to a town and shops as needed. The interior is beautifully designed - we felt so comfortable and at home! It has a huge kitchen perfect for sharing the cooking or sitting back with drinks while watching someone else cook. There are books absolutely everywhere, a book-lover's heaven.
On the practical side of things, the wireless worked pretty well, and those of us on AT&T had reception (T Mobile didn't). The heating and fireplace were great, and Luke provided lots of great advice about hikes and other activities to entertain us.
Overall a fantastic cabin, perfect for escaping life's problems for a day or a month :)

The cabin is incredible. Luke is a responsive host, and provides thorough instructions about the house and things to do in the surrounding area. He's also a talented interior stylist, as the space he has created deserves a feature on Remodelista. It's charming and rustic yet has all the modern amenities, with an enviable library, enormous kitchen, giant fireplace, and lots of picturesque places to gather as a group or lounge by yourself with a book. The surroundings are equally impressive, with views that literally go for miles. You can take a gorgeous walk just by going out the front door, or travel 10-20 minutes to one of the many hiking trails nearby. All in all, it's a perfect retreat from city life.

Luke's cabin is a beautiful and well appointed home overlooking the Manadnock valley. Luke graciously provided information about the cabin, ground and a whole host of activities in the region. We took him up on several of his tips.

This place is AMAZING!! The pictures do not do it justice. Seriously I was blown away with how wonderfully decorated this home was. The kitchen is fantastic and the views from the bedrooms are simply glorious. I came up here for a weekend winter getaway and we had so much fun. A list of places to go in the area was provided and helped us find some live music and a great sandwich shop. Also this is the last house at the end of a long driveway which gives you a wonderfully secluded getaway. If you are looking to getaway definitely choose this!

Wonderful experience! Luke is a great host. Even though he was away at the time, he made sure that we felt right at home - and we did. The cabin is as described, plus some more. The photos don't do it justice. We will be back soon. Thanks Luke!

Luke's cabin is an incredible place to stay. Not only is the area and view unbeatable, the cabin itself is perfect. Thousands of books, large kitchen, fireplace, outdoor deck, large comfortable bed, best views I have seen in a long time. When we stayed there was plenty of snow around, so we were even lucky enough to go snowshoeing around the local area. The cabin feels like you are on a mountain in the middle of the woods, but it is only a 10 minute drive to peterborough, which is a brilliant little town as well. Nothing could be improved with this cabin. Thanks Luke!

This is an exquisite place for a getaway in any season. In the winter (when we went last week) it feels like an oasis of warmth and good taste (and an incredible library) in a snow-capped wonderland. In the Fall (when we went briefly, once before), and in the summer, it is as, if not more charming. If you love books then this is the place for you. And if you love reading in front of a fireplace, then even better.
Luke is a perfect host, very attentive and hospitable. I can't think of a better introduction to New Hampshire.

Great place, Luke was great. Felt very comfortable and at peace. I would very much consider going back.
Went swimming, hiking and the kitchen is the best.
Thank you and to anyone reading this, I think you will truly enjoy this place.
